Vancomycin resistant enterococi is becoming widespread in hospitals and so new antibiotics are being developed to combat it. Vancomycin is currently the strongest antibiotic and is given to patients who get diarrhoea from erythromycin but a more powerful remedy is the extract of gentian root. This may also get rid of all irritable bowel syndrome as well. It's as bitter as antibiotics so administration maybe best by capsule. I had to use this herb myself after becoming allergic to tobramycin ( I have a risky job making the stuff) it took 3 months to complete it's job. I know there maybe others in the pharmaceutical field with similar problems who havent found a cure as yet. If you take gentian root tea every day for 3 months you'll be permanently fixed, relief comes within 5 minutes of taking the tea. Hope this helps a lot.

There are some properties of gentian root
Gentian root and rhizome, Gentiana lutea L. [Fam. Gentianaceae], otherwise known as Bitter Root, is named after King Gentius of ancient Illyria (180-167 B.C.) who is said to have discovered its medicinal properties. This classical bitter herb is a yellow-flowering perennial native to the alpine meadows of central and southern Europe and western Asia. The commercial supply of gentian root largely comes from the mountains of France, Spain and the Balkans from elevations between 1,000-2,500 meters. Permits are required to harvest gentian, now a protected plant in Germany, Yugoslavia and many other countries, because it has been extirpated from many different areas. Wild harvested plants generally require 7 to 10 years to be harvestable. Traditionally, gentian is used for treating flatulent colic and indigestion. The German Commission E approves gentian root and rhizome for treating digestive complaints including lack of appetite, feeling of distention and flatulence. One clinical trial with 10 healthy subjects showed that gentian root tincture taken by oral dosage increased and prolonged emptying of the gallbladder indicating a choleretic effect (increased bile flow) and stimulated gastric juice secretion. Gentiana lutea and related species from India including G. chirata and G. chirayita, are included in the Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia, which indicates their use for treating anorexia, dyspepsia and gastrointestinal complaints. In Ayurvedic medicine, gentian's actions are classified as bitter, gastric stimulant and bile stimulant. Animal studies have also documented choleretic properties for gentian, and one compound found in the root called gentianine has been reported to have anti-inflammatory activity. A recent study to discover new natural antioxidants screened seven plants including Vitis vinifera as reference and found that Gentiana lutea was the only one that presented a hydroxyl-radical scavenging activity. Dr. James Duke, author of The Green Pharmacy, also recommends gentian root for treating earache, heartburn, hypothyroidism and ulcers.
